<p>bzdbcopy.pl - Copies data from one Bugzilla database to another.</p>

<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="DESCRIPTION"
>DESCRIPTION</a></h1>

<p>The intended use of this script is to copy data from an installation running on one DB platform to an installation running on another DB platform.</p>

<p>It must be run from the directory containing your Bugzilla installation.
That means if this script is in the contrib/ directory,
you should be running it as: <code  class="code">./contrib/bzdbcopy.pl</code></p>

<p>Note: Both schemas must already exist and be <b>IDENTICAL</b>.
(That is,
they must have both been created/updated by the same version of checksetup.pl.) This script will <b>DESTROY ALL CURRENT DATA</b> in the target database.</p>

<p>Both Schemas must be at least from Bugzilla 2.19.3,
but if you&#39;re running a Bugzilla from before 2.20rc2,
you&#39;ll need the patch at: <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300311" class="podlinkurl"
>http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300311</a> in order to be able to run this script.</p>

<p>Before you using it,
you have to correctly set all the variables in the &#34;User-Configurable Settings&#34; section at the top of the script.
The <code  class="code">SOURCE</code> settings are for the database you&#39;re copying from,
and the <code  class="code">TARGET</code> settings are for the database you&#39;re copying to.
The <code  class="code">DB_TYPE</code> is the name of a DB driver from the <em  class="code">Bugzilla/DB/</em> directory.</p>
